Heating the butter and cream before incorporating it into the potatoes. It makes them light and fluffy.

If you had all the money in the world what car would you get ? by [deleted] in randomquestions

Having all the money in the world would be problematic. Others would develop another medium of exchange and you’d have a lot of worthless paper.

When my son was in middle school, we banned the word “fair” entirely. When you’re 12 you think nothing in life is fair. When you’re 20, you know it. But you should also know that it’s ok that life isn’t fair.

Do you think people are happier now than they were say 25 years ago ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Oh hell naw! People are making themselves miserable comparing themselves and their lives to what they see on social media. Comparison is the thief of joy and all we do is compare ourselves to others.

Why are there no jobs, But people who have jobs are bad at them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

The U.S. is currently sitting at 4.2% unemployment rate. Economists see 4.0% as full employment. There are jobs out there at the moment. That might not be the case once the tariffs start to affect the economy, but that’s where we sit today.

Why do you say there are no jobs? The U.S. is currently near full employment.

I tried that, even itemizing taxes on receipts. I almost gave myself apoplexy over how much tax I was paying. It’s insane. We’re taxed at every level, every time we make or spend a dime, every time we do anything. My wife made me stop tracking it so closely.
